I have recently upgraded to Photoshop CS5 and wanted it to open jpg files. However whatever I try and I have tries ALL of the above NOTHING will enable it to associate with jpg. It is not registered as a default program and steadfastly refuses (in spite of numerous reinstalls) to enable it to register or associate with jpg. So I reckon some registry hack is needed but I am not sufficiently knowledgable to do it. Any help appreciated.
As a reply to thread starter's wish to add a program to the list of Default Programs, please have a look at my blogposts here:
- Adding a program to the list of Default Programs
- Example: Adding VLC Media Player to the list of Default Programs
I hope this may be of help for someone out there

The default program editor worked great and resolved my problem....Thanks
Once my exe is compiled, even with this DefaultProgramsEditor.exe of yours, there's no [add application] allowing registration of a custom made program available.
The question remains.
How to add a custom made exe from any path in Win7's default progs list?
Edit : I was expecting some [add to default apps] flag in advanced file properties for executable files or some logical trick of this kind... or the simple ability to select any executable with any path from the "Open With" dialog. Playing with registry is much of a hazardous way to make it, even if it has solved my problem for now. We shouldn't have to.

In addition to the above, you could use the program in METHOD TWO of the tutorial below to easily add a program to the "Open With" list.
Open With - Add Program - Vista Forums
Hope this helps,

Bill2 Thanks Great program and places entry into registry if you need it to...
Thanks Bill2. Tried this but it won't add programs to the "Set your default programs " list

G'day Imperfect1,
Good answer - you can also go to the Tools menu, select Preferences, Content, media type and the "Make Real Player my Universal Media Player" option. Sometimes I need to re-do this when a new upgrade for ...... is installed and the new upgraded program high-jacks the system. It's pretty easy IF you remember what to do.
